Knee replacement surgery went well. I can’t get up until the spinal wears off. Hoping to get home today but no guarantees. How did I miss that you were having surgery today? Sorry! I hope you have a speedy recovery and are able to go home soon!

Dinner last night was Texas Roadhouse, I LOVE Texas Roadhouse ... the only place I have had it was in Idaho while on vacation. Sadly, they have never opened locations in Canada so I don't get to go there

Safe and stress free travels home scrapmaven! Have a great time at your crop cadoodlebug! I am moving at a snails pace for some reason today. I have some small things to do around the house but I am procrastinating ... I'll get them done before my mum gets here after bingo ... she'll be staying for dinner ... We will have something from Hello Fresh ... mum gets to choose what!

My trip was two hours each way door to door, so over EIGHT HOURS wasted travelling in two days. Ugh. Oh, hell no!! That is brutal! And I think my 30 - 40 minute commute is bad! Dinner was rechauffed tuna mornay, that I made on Sunday. I hope it was okay. I don't know if I would trust fish that is that many days old ... hope you are feeling fine later!

Sounds like a nice day scrapmaven! I'm going to tackle some laundry, recycling and take out the garbage (my garbage room is in an outside building) ... I do have a prescription to pick up but I'm not sure if I will do it today or tomorrow ... Dinner will be from Hello Fresh ... Creamy Alfredo-Style Jumbo Shrimp Linguine ... should be awesome! I might invite my girlfriend over to share it.

What’s your favorite meals from HelloFresh? I just started it again and I’m having a hard time picking stuff. I don't have any favourites because they change them so often but I usually choose one recipe that involves salmon, one that involves pasta and one that involves shrimp ... if I can't find anything to fit the bill in any of those categories, I will choose something chicken ... I sometimes will see a soup or chili that looks good as well! My mum eats with me for two of the meals usually so I have to choose stuff that is quite simple ... but I don't have a problem finding recipes that we both like! I will say that I am a slow cook so the suggested cook times for the recipes is usually doubled for me! I probably wasn't helpful!

I'm doing all the things I didn't do yesterday! Gotta get gas, go to Starbucks and hit the grocery store ... Then I have a few phone calls to make and a few texts as well ... Dinner will be something from Hello Fresh ... not sure what yet.

scrapmaven I am so glad to hear there is some light at the end of the tunnel for you. What a miracle worker this doctor must be. ❤️ My thoughts exactly! I need to go to get gas today and pick up some groceries ... never went yesterday ... it's Canadian Thanksgiving so the store could be busy or not ... we'll see! Then I will putter around the house ... small things to do ... My mum is coming over after bingo for dinner ... we will have rechaufee Chinese food ... it was so good last night!

Maybe that was it. I feel like corned beef has been super controversial on this thread. I feel like that is more because we think of it as coming from Britain/Ireland, but the British peas never know what the hell we are talking about because it does not, in fact, come from there. 😂😂😂 I'm Canadian but my family is of British heritage and I was raised eating a lot of basic British dishes ... no corned beef! To this day, I've never had it! I'm not a picky eater so chances are I would like it!

Thanks so much! My mum and (young adult) dd's are coming over later for dinner ... we are going rogue and not doing turkey! When the big turkey dinner was cooked when I was still married to their Dad, he always cooked the bird and made the gravy ... so good! So, basically, I don't know how! . I could figure it out but I don't want to! We are ordering Chinese! Easy Peasy and yummy! Sorry you aren't feeling well canadianlinda!

Hi everyone! Both my mum and I are feeling out of sorts this morning so breakfast at Denny's a no go ... I actually called her and she had no idea it was Sunday and wouldn't have shown up anyway! . Cirque du Soleil Kooza last night was sooooo great! There was a dude who was the ringmaster who was extremely attractive in his own Cirque way ... my girlfriend and I were talking about him late into the night! Of course, the venue was downtown ... I HATE driving downtown ... and then leaving I'm driving downtown AT NIGHT ... I'm too old for this! This is what I posted on Facebook this morning ... Co-Op is a local grocery store that has membership numbers that have been around forever! It is not uncommon for adult children to still be using their parent's number. Reminds me of the early years of my marriage when we used my MIL's Costco membership! Anyway, my adult daughter's live with their Dad and continue to use his Co-Op membership number, hehehehehehe!!!! This is Canadian Thanksgiving weekend ... tomorrow is actual Thanksgiving ... I will be having my mum and my dd's over for dinner tonight ... no turkey ... we are going rogue and ordering Chinese! My mum is bringing pumpkin pie for those who want it ... I didn't go to the grocery store yesterday so I need to go today ... that's all I'll do before everyone shows up! What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a relaxing Sunday everybody!

That sounds exciting! Im glad you guys are on the same page. Will the apartments allow a bigger dog? Yes they will. Our dog is no problem. But its a problem for me. As she is getting older, she is needing to go out much more often. Jeremy has been taking her out at 3 am when he wakes up for work and she's still waking him at that time on the weekends to take her out too. I don't think I want to have to take a dog out of a 4th floor apartment building into the trail for her to do her business at that time of night. It just isn't practical. So I think we should stay out until she passes. Shes 12 now and a big dog. She's getting slower and slower. She's also got some dementia. She's wandering the house at night. Which is another reason I don't want to move her. She's familiar here. Two things: You don't want to be out in the middle of the night by yourself downtown even though you have a dog (yes, she is a pitbull but still) ... I am all about safety and I would feel nervous taking the dog out in the dark ... I think this move sounds like a wonderful adventure for you and Jeremy! I love condo living! But I would wait until I didn't have a dog ... it will just be easier!

eannec - I have never been to a Cirque show, but I would love to. I just need to convince DH. One issue we have with seeing shows like this is DH's work travel schedule, which makes booking as far out as is usually necessary is hard. I can understand that ... I bought these tickets LAST November! Time for a trip to Las Vegas! You can see some amazing Cirque shows there!

Haha...but I'm sure I'll come out looking like a hooker. OMG! So funny! I can't believe Mary Kay is still around! I can't see the younger generation being their customers ... my dd's are Sephora shoppers ... and you never see any Mary Kay pink Cadillacs anymore so no one is making the big bucks! I still do wear makeup but it is a chore ... I buy my same basics from Sephora online ... three items plus various lipsticks from time to time ... easy peasy!

Hi everyone! Today I plan to do some laundry, go to the grocery store and Starbucks and then get ready to go out tonight to see Cirque du Soleil with my girlfriend! I have seen every show they have ever shown in Calgary (many) ... this time it is KOOZA ... I've seen it before but have no memory of when or what goes on ... yes, I'm old! Have you ever been to a Cirque show? We plan to hit somewhere to eat after the show for a very late dinner ... somewhere near home ... TBD! Thanks everyone for the positive thoughts regarding me getting my mum into a retirement residence ... it means a lot ... it's a stressful thing but she and I will work it out! This is what I posted on Facebook today ... it is Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend ... we are celebrating tomorrow ... after that it is time to start thinking about Christmas. When do you return home scrapmaven? Thinking of you tanya2! What are your plans today? What is on your menu? Have a wonderful Saturday everybody!

leannec, when are you gonna look at the new place with your mom? We are in a holding pattern right now ... we have a dilemma ... it's all about the money ... This morning we had a meeting with a senior's centre person who deals with housing information and were basically told that my mum makes too much money to qualify for any sort of housing subsidy ... Ok, but she doesn't make enough to afford the residences she is interested in without worrying about eventually running out of money (she will have a lump sum from the sale of her condo as well as her monthly income) ... There has got to be a solution ... we just need to find it ... that is my goal for the next few days! I'm so happy that you feel a bit better scrapmaven! I need to go and read your update jeremysgirl! That's great that your father's surgery went well Delta Dawn! I love BLT's without the B hutchfan ... I don't like bacon anymore ... weird I know! I'm feeling better today but still a bit tired so I'm just going to hang out for the remainder of the day ... I have so many things recorded that I need to watch Dinner might be the takeout pork dumplings that I didn't have yesterday! Yum!

Today I went to my prayer group and lasted the entire time. DH bought some mums, pumpkins and gourds; so I now have my front porch and driveway entrance decorated. I am now relaxing for the rest of the night. Dinner was subs. I had a BLT and DH had a cold cut sub. Your porch and driveway sound so nice! You know a photo would be awesome! I am also having a sub for dinner! Veggie with extra onions ... no plans to breathe on anyone tonight.
